BILLY BATES to Have Private Screening Hosted at the 2012 Tribeca Film Festival

A blend of conventional filmmaking and improvisational collaboration about an artist's journey, the new film BILLY BATES will have a private screening hosted at the 2012 Tribeca Film Festival on Thursday, April 19th at 7:00pm at the Tribeca Cinemas during the second night of the festival. Tribeca hosts private screenings each year and BILLY BATES will show as part of that ongoing tradition.

The film is written and directed by Jennifer DeLia and produced by Julie Pacino, who had this to say in a joint statement: "It's a great honor that Tribeca Film Festival has offered their support to us as filmmakers and given us a venue to exhibit our first feature film at home in New York. We are excited about the conversations surrounding the creative process and the fine-line between art and life. We look forward to finding the right distribution partner so that we can have all of these conversations on the broadest scale and potentially bridge the gap between art and commerce."

Follow the screening, an after-party is scheduled at the Boom Boom Room at the Standard Hotel where the band The Little Death, who perform on the film's soundtrack, will perform along with DJ Whoo Kid.
